On a side note, I'm noticing a trend on TTLG that if Dethtoll shows disdain towards something, people seem to get the motivation to immediately try it out (Fez is a notable recent example). With this in mind, can I please send you my next album Dethtoll? You're guaranteed to hate it and I could use the promo ;)
As long as it's not dubstep there's a real possibility I'll enjoy it.

If we're talking about Lovecraft, worth mentioning I was replaying the classic IF Anchorhead recently too, since I got IF set up on my phone too; and worth repeating that that it still kicks total ass and the best example of interactive fiction there is IMO, on top of being an awesome horror story in the best Lovecraftian style.

There's no chance it's dubstep.

In the last couple months, I've been all over the place. Nothing too groundbreaking:
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood
Call of Cthulu and Other Weird Tales
1984
On the Road
and I'm just about to finish The Longest Goodbye by Raymond Chandler.
Not sure where to go next. Maybe some Agatha Christie, maybe some Dickens. But that talk above in the thread also got me interested in maybe reading Nostromo

Try some Flashman.

Somehow I've never heard of it, but it sounds interesting. Though I'm trying to finish all the books that I have on my bookshelves before I start buying more. I'm marking it down as a future purchase.

I just read this...
Nobody loves a Tory
Because the Badgers are moving the goalposts.
The Ferrets are bending the rules.
The Weasels are taking the hindmost.
The Otters are downing tools.
The Hedgehogs are changing the game-plan
The Grass-snakes are spitting tacks.
The Squirrels are playing the blame-game.
The Skunks are twisting the facts.
The Pole-cats are upping the ante.
The Foxes are jumping the gun.
The Voles are crashing the party.
The Stoats are dismantling the Sun.
The Rabbits are taking the biscuit.
The Hares are losing the plot.
The Eagles are kicking the bucket.
The Rats are joining the dots.
The Herons are throwing a curveball.
The Shrews are fanning the flames.
The Field mice are sinking the 8-ball.
The Swans are passing the blame.
And the Pheasants are draining the oil from the tank-
but only the Bustards have broken the bank.
Carol Ann Duffy
Then I saw this!

Just started on Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley and so far it's quite a different fantasy book, focusing more on the higher-end Thanes doings, politics and the world, rather than slaying orcs and dragons. Reminds me of old Polish history books :p
Enjoying the change of pace from the typical fantasy fare, but also having a wee bit hard time keeping track of the multitude of ("bloods"), races, cities and their relations. Just a matter of getting used to it I guess; at least the book provides a map + cast of characters upfront which is nice!
